7.1 Managing Client Licenses
Sheer DNA Client applications and BQL connectivity is based on installed
license files. Sheer DNA Manage enables the administrator to control and
monitor the number of Sheer DNA Client and BQL connections over a
limited or unlimited period of time based on the client licenses installed. Two
types of licenses are supported, namely, fixed (the number of installed users
are identified by user names or IP addresses or both) or floating (the number
of installed users operating concurrently).
For more information on the Client Licenses sub-branch, refer to page 34.
